Counselling services in Orpington

“All the staff here are amazing - from reception, the nurses, and the vets, they do their utmost to care for your pets. Would definately recommend Ashmores.”

“From our very first session we both felt comfortable bringing everything out in the open & learning how to move forward. Never judged nor criticised, just understood, we can’t thank Irma enough.”

“First time I've needed to use this new centre. I was 'mega' impressed! I did have a long wait for an appointment in Derma, but I was pretty sure it was not an urgent condition so didn't worry. But the new building is smart and clean and obviously modern. Facilities were not crowded or cramped. Reception staff were young but (quite unusual for the young!) helpful. Dr Malone the consultant was excellent, and has been before. Her 'couch-side' manner impeccable. Friendly but a most professional examination and study of my notes too. A thorough examination, a relief that the problem solely requires a cream which was promptly prescribed, and as I suspected the problem had been caught at an early stage and was not dangerous. Some skin cancers can be deadly, and for Dermatology to now have such a centre of excellence and permanent facilities locally reflects it's importance as a health service sector, and it's increasing relevance within the field of skin cancers with climate changes affecting us all. A Dr Parson I understand was highly influential in the development of this centre, and he happens to be my GP of long standing also, and I would like to congratulate him for the success of this new building, a worthy addition to our NHS and badly needed. Our health system will never be perfect for all, our expectations in modern times are higher, and our nation through successive Govt failures is no longer as wealthy. But the staff in our NHS continue to amaze me for their resilience. They should be proud. But, the continued under-funding of resources and restriction of salaries under a certain parties control (which shall remain nameless) will (and has) destroy morale and lead to a brain drain of our badly needed professionals, to places prepared to offer better conditions of work-and there are many. It's high time we recognised the importance of the nations health in productivity, and invested properly in healthcare. Orpington reflects 'one small step for man', but one giant leap for mankind is still desperately needed.”

“Absolutely amazing facilities at Green Street green Orpington. Super friendly staff who helped book and show us around. Fantastic range of activities and toys to play with. My autistic son (4) had a great time and also my daughter (2). Highly recommended and we will definitely be going back.”

“Sophia's counselling sessions have been extremely beneficial to my daughter's overall wellbeing. She is only 5 years old but Sophia made her feel very comfortable and she immediately considered her a friend and was looking forward to her session every week. Thank you Sophia!”

“Had my hair cut in the new Barbers and it was fantastic best one I have been to highly recommend it, Sam cut my hair and listened to exactly what I wanted!! Definitely use them regularly from now on and nice to have all girl Barbers !!”

“Our daughter has been dancing with Lucy Griffiths Dance & Theatre Academy for many years now. She does different classes during the week and at weekends, getting many opportunities with the Academy. She helps out on Saturday mornings with the preschool and primary classes which she really enjoys and gets a lot of satisfaction from. She has entered many types of graded exams which she has achieved very high marks in. For the last three years, she has auditioned and been cast for dance teams in Christmas pantomimes, taken part in three theatre shows produced by the Petts Wood Operatic Society, and performed in three of the Academy's own shows.”

“Brilliant for children. Loads to choose from and staffs are extra friendly and helpful. Clean and spacious too.”

“Alexis from reception is really kind and helpful, hence the 5 stars review. Thank you”
